LOX Vaporizers
Liquid oxygen ambient air vaporizers with documented oxygen-service preparation
FWM manufactures ambient air vaporizers for liquid oxygen supply systems serving medical gas, industrial combustion, aerospace ground support, and process applications. Cleaning, sealing, tagging, testing, and documentation are confirmed for the delivered configuration and application.
Oxygen service standards
Oxygen supports combustion, equipment must be free of hydrocarbons, oils, and contaminants that could ignite in an oxygen-enriched environment. FWM oxygen-service vaporizers include:
Oxygen cleaned
Components cleaned to remove hydrocarbons and contaminants per oxygen service standards
Sealed & tagged
Sealed openings with oxygen service tags to maintain cleanliness during shipping and storage
ASME B31.3 compliant
Designed and built per ASME B31.3 process piping requirements
Material traceability
Full material certifications and lot tracking available
Liquid oxygen applications
Medical & Healthcare
Hospital oxygen supply, home healthcare, respiratory therapy
Industrial Combustion
Oxy-fuel cutting, welding, metal processing, glass production
Aerospace
Propulsion systems, ground support equipment
Chemical Processing
Oxidation processes, waste treatment, fermentation
Oxygen vaporizer sizing
Liquid oxygen boils at -297°F (-183°C) at atmospheric pressure. Like nitrogen, the large temperature differential makes LOX suitable for ambient vaporization in most climates.
Medical oxygen applications often require continuous, uninterrupted supply. For these applications, manifolded vaporizer banks with alternating duty cycles may be required. FWM engineering can help specify the configuration.
Oxygen-service preparation, cleaning, sealing, tagging, testing, and documentation, is confirmed for the delivered configuration and application. The documentation package is scoped to the unit and application rather than identical for every configuration.
